A PROPERTY COMES WITH MORE THAN FOUR WALLS AND A DEED. 🏡
Before purchasing a home or investment property, it's important to understand whether any recorded restrictions or covenants may affect how you can use the property.
Deed restrictions and restrictive covenants are legal provisions that may limit certain activities, improvements, or uses of a property. Depending on the language of the recorded documents, these restrictions may address matters such as exterior modifications, property maintenance, building locations, landscaping, or operating a business from a residence.
For properties located in communities governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA), additional rules and requirements may also apply. These documents can influence what homeowners are permitted to do with their property.
However, not every restriction is automatically enforceable. Its validity and enforceability depend on several factors, including the wording of the document, the circumstances surrounding it, and applicable state law.
Before closing, take time to review the property's recorded documents and understand the obligations that may come with ownership. Knowing these details can help you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected limitations after purchasing.
For questions about real estate transactions and restrictive covenants, consult with us.

When purchasing property with financing, understanding the legal documents you sign at closing is just as important as understanding the terms of your loan.

In North Carolina, a Deed of Trust is commonly used to secure a real estate loan. It involves a trustee who holds legal title to the property as security for the debt. If the borrower defaults, the lender may pursue foreclosure through the applicable legal process, including a power-of-sale procedure when authorized.

In South Carolina, real estate financing generally involves a Mortgage rather than a Deed of Trust. A mortgage gives the lender a security interest in the property, which may be enforced through a court-supervised foreclosure proceeding if the borrower defaults.

Although both instruments secure repayment of a loan, their legal structures and enforcement procedures differ between the two states.

Before signing, take time to understand your financing documents, your obligations as a borrower, and the potential consequences of default. Knowing what you're agreeing to matters.

Have you come across the term lis pendens?

It refers to a notice of pending litigation involving real property. In certain cases, the notice provides public information that a lawsuit may affect the property's title or interests connected to it.

For buyers, sellers, and property owners, this is an important reason to take title-related concerns seriously during a real estate transaction.

If a property is connected to pending litigation, seek appropriate legal guidance before proceeding with a transaction.

Know what may affect the property before making a decision.
